1. Introduction.
In 2002, Argo Spain began its contribution to the Argo program through aEuropeanprojectwhereatotalof80ArgoprofilersweredeployedintheNorthAtlantic.Sincethen,ArgoSpaingivessupporttoalltheoperatorsinSpainthatuseArgofloatsaspartoftheirobservationalstrategy.
Two institutions are mainly involved in Argo Spain, the Spanish Institute ofOceanography(IEO,InstitutoEspañoldeOceanografía)andtheCoastalOceanObservingandForecastingSystemoftheheBalearicIslands(SOCIB;SistemadeObservaciónCosteroydePrediccióndelasIslasBaleares)
2. Thestatusofimplementation
Since2003,63floatshavebeendeployedbyArgoSpain.Attheendof2016,7Argofloatswereactive.

Floatsdeployedandtheirperformance
During2016,1ArgofloatwasdeployedbySpain: 1DeepArvorfloat(WMO6901248)intheEasternAtlantic(CanaryIslands)bytheR/VAngelesAlvariño.ThefloatwasdeployedonNovember1st2016at 29, 10.00 LAT and -18,29.78 LON by the Instituto Español deOceanografía researchers fromÁngelesAlvariñovesselduring theRAPROCAN2016survey.
ThisfloatwasdeployedaspartoftheArgoSpaincontributiontothepilotprogramtoextendedtheArgoprogramdeeperthan2000m.
After 70 days at sea, the Deep – Arvor continues driftingtowards to open sea. The float was initially programmed to diveevery 5 days measuring temperature and salinity during theascendingphase.Afterthat,thefloatwasreconfiguredtodiveevery10daysreachingalso4000metersofdepth.
